Miscarriage 20 weeks +5

[user1499074974]

Hi
Has anyone had a late miscarriage and had a successful pregnancy afterwards? I have given birth to my sleeping little boy on the 29th June. Physically I'm recovering I guess but emotionally I don't feel good. I need some positive stories to give me hope for the future. How long did it take for you to fall pregnant again? How did you get through the pregnancy without losing your mind through worry? What was the follow appointment like that you get invited to attend to discuss the findings from the post-mortem? Thank you x

I am so so sorry for your loss. I have no personal experience of a miscarriage that late as I found out at 14 weeks my baby's heart had stopped sometime after 13 weeks. I just didn't want you not to have an answer. My thoughts are with you and I hope that you get the answers you need from the follow up appointment. We didn't have a post mortem and I have declined a meeting with the consultant at the moment as I have been told that before 14 weeks it is still classed as 'one of those unlucky things '. I do plan to try again. One of my friends had a still birth at 22/23 weeks and has had a beautiful healthy baby since then. My thoughts are with you take care of yourself

Hello, firstly, I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you, I hope you are getting all the support you need.

I lost my first daughter at 20 weeks in may 2015. We went on to have our rainbow the following year. She is now nearly 8 months old and perfect.

I realise this thread is old but I didn't want you to not have a response from someone who has gone through it. X

Hi, so sorry for your loss. I lost identical twin boys at 21+5 on 2006, 11 years ago this year. I went on to fall pregnant the following year with our daughter who is now 9 and 13 months after that I fell pregnant with our second daughter who is now 7. Also currently 25 weeks pregnant with our 3rd daughter after also having two consecutive first trim miscarriages last year.
Everything seems so bleak after a late loss and your baby will never be out of your head or your heart but you will go on to have another. It's scary being pregnant after a loss as you've lost the innocence of pregnancy and you know there is no safe point anymore.
Wishing you all the best for the future, be gentle to yourself 💙

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost DD at 20+1 in April so I understand what you're going through.
We had the meeting with the consultant last week. It was quite short because they didn't find anything wrong with me or baby. Very sad to have lost a child that was otherwise healthy but good to know that there are no health risks to stop us getting pregnant again.
We are going to start TTC again soon and will just be trying to live a normal healthy lifestyle and not get too stressed about it (easier said than done!) We have a direct contact at the hospital and have been reassured that if we do get pregnant again we'll have an early scan and regular ongoing growth scans to try and calm some of the pregnancy anxiety that I know I will have, particularly around the time of my previous loss.
I hope this helps you to feel a little better. It's just so horrible that anyone has to go through this. Some days will be worse than others but all you can do is take it one step at a time.

I lost two boys one at 19 weeks in 2013 and one at 20+6 in 2014, They found nothing wrong in my pregnancies and was believed to have been an infection in my most recent miscarriages my consultant arrange a plan for me for when I got pregnant again and to have a few things before I got pregnant.. I took a year + out to get myself in a better place both emotionally and physically and then TRY again..I now have a whirlwind of a 15 month old running around as I type this..Dont give up hope..Ask about baby aspirin and Progesterone pessaries. I believe this is what got me my little boy.
Good luck

I'm so sorry for your loss. Last week I've lost my identical twin boys @ week 14. Everything was going ok, found out during the routine consultant appointment. Still grieving... have the same concerns as you do... happy to have a chat if you'd like, we might support each other.
